DNA has two strands. If the sequence of nucleotides of one strand was known, is it possible to use that information to determine the sequence of the second strand? Explain your reasoning for your response using an example DNA sequence. and this is for biomedical science.

Yes

Explanation:

DNA, which is the genetic material, is a double-stranded molecule i.e. possess two strands. Each strand is made up of a sequence of nucleotide base, which are complementary to one another. The complementary base pairing rule as proposed by Chargaff states that Adenine (A) base will always hydrogen pair with Thymine (T) base while Guanine base (G) will always pair with Cytosine (C) i.e. A-T, G-C.

For example, If the sequence of nucleotides of one strand was CTAGCGGATC, the sequence of nucleotide of the other strand will be GATCGCCTAG. Hence, based on this question, the information of the sequence of base on one strand can be used to determine the sequence of the second strand.

hydroxyl -oh

alcohols, always polar, can form hydrogen bonds with h2o molecules

carboxyl -cooh  

cargoxylic acids, has acidic properties which is a source of hydrogen ions, found in cells in ionized for with a charge of oh-1

carbonyl > co

ketone if within skeleton, aldehyde if group is at the end of skeleton, k & a may be structural isomers, it determines 2 sugars (ketose & aldose)

amino -nh2

amines, acts as a base, it can pick up h+ ions from surrounding solution, ionized with charge of 1+

methyl ch2

addition to rna/dna affects and gene expression

phosphate -opo3 ²⁻

organic phosphates, contributes to negative charge to, molecule that it is a part of, and potential to react with h20

sulfhydryl -sh

thiols, cross-linking stabilize the protein, and it is structure
